After some rumors started brewing over when the next Nintendo Direct would air, Nintendo has confirmed the date. We'll be seeing the delayed Direct on September 13th at 23:00 UK time. It appears that we'll still be getting a 35 minute showcase of upcoming Switch and 3DS titles. Stay tuned for tomorrow, as GBAtemp will be covering the event as it airs.

Additionally, Nintendo Switch Online will be launching on the 18th of this month. A free 7 day trial will be offered as well. More Online information will be given during the Direct.

Well, guess I have something to watch Friday-morning!

 

[sup3rgh0st]

With the first week being a free trial.

I feel like the past year and a half was a free trial, lol. Is this to let people download all of their NES games just to be locked out and have to pay a week later?
I'm really gambling on Nintendo slowly upgrading from NES to SNES to N64 and expanding their library incrementally to maintain "hype" for their subscribers.

Nice to hear.
Now then, prepare to have my hopes and dreams crushed with no Animal Crossing :/

 

[RedoLane]

yay! moar 3DS!

 

[Chary]

They delayed it to showcase their new and super awesome Animal Crossing Switch game, yeah?

Please?

Please let me dream

I hate how they're making us bend over backwards to pay for games already.

Now we have to pay for interaction with friends!

At least we get 7 days of freedom for free.


Maybe if the subscription bombs, they'll delete the money? Wishful thinking I guess.

 

[fatsquirrel]

It never should've been delayed in the first place.

Yeah you are right, fuck that disaster right?
Its just a few million people in trouble, screw that, you need your new games announced!
/fucking sarcasm there

The only way it would bomb is if Sony/Microsoft didn't already have more expensive paid online services. At $20/year to play Smash and Pokemon online, most people won't even think twice. Unless you're without a job and/or homeless, that cost is absolutely negligible.

yay! moar 3DS!

Let it diiie

Oh good we can get "backups" of the 20+ year old games they want us to pay money for again.

Noice. Cant wait for more wii u ports and ports from the 360/ps3 era!

I think they said this will be a first party focused direct. I expect it to be mostly about Mario party, maybe they'll play a quick game.

Seeing 3DS being mentioned already does that for me.

Hold on to your butts. I have a feeling that this is gonna be a big one.

Nintendo delayed the Direct out of respect for the earthquake victims. If you can't see that they did a good deed, please leave the thread now.
